Jakarta, 11 October 2025 – The Indonesia International Sustainability Forum (ISF) 2025 officially concluded its second day with tangible achievements, including thirteen Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), three Letters of Intent (LoIs), and a total investment commitment of IDR 278.33 trillion or approximately USD 17.4 billion. These results underscore the success of ISF 2025 as a strategic platform that not only connects ideas but also drives real cross-sector collaboration to accelerate Indonesia’s transition toward a green economy.
“This IDR 278 trillion commitment is the result of multi-sector synergy initiated from the very first day of ISF. It is not just about numbers it represents a new direction for economic development that is greener, more inclusive, and more resilient,” said Nurul Ichwan, Deputy Minister for Investment Promotion, Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry (BKPM), during the ISF 2025 closing remarks.
Nurul explained that the total value of agreed cooperation reflects strong confidence in Indonesia’s economic transformation. He added that most of the investment commitments will be gradually realized through green energy projects, sustainable supply chain development, and industrial decarbonization initiatives.
Echoing this sentiment, Rachmat Kaimuddin, Deputy for Basic Infrastructure Coordination at the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development and Chair of ISF 2025, emphasized that the forum demonstrates Indonesia’s determination to take a leading role in global sustainable development. According to him, ISF is not merely a space for sharing ideas—it is a platform ensuring that multi-stakeholder collaboration translates into concrete action.
“ISF 2025 serves as a collaboration arena between government, industry, and academia. The resulting investment and partnerships reflect the international community’s confidence in Indonesia’s sustainability policies and strengthen the foundation of a resilient and inclusive green economy. The enthusiasm of more than 12,500 participants from 61 countries also reflects global attention to Indonesia’s leadership in driving the sustainable development agenda,” he stated.
The forum also highlighted several green projects soon to be launched, such as the Waste-to-Energy initiative across 33 cities in Indonesia. These projects have attracted interest from 192 global companies, showcasing the collaborative spirit built since the first day of ISF 2025. The second day marked the moment of implementation—when high-level discussions transformed into concrete actions through strategic partnerships and cross-sector investments.
Meanwhile, Shinta W. Kamdani, Vice Chair for Human Development, Culture, and Sustainable Development at the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN), affirmed that the private sector has now become the main driving force of the national green transformation. She highlighted that green investment not only strengthens economic growth but also creates significant opportunities for job creation, supply chain enhancement, and MSME empowerment.
“ISF 2025 has demonstrated that Indonesian businesses are ready to collaborate in advancing the green economy. With the support of enabling policies, sustainable industrial transformation will deliver real benefits for society at large,” she noted.
Over two days, the forum organized by the Coordinating Ministry for Infrastructure and Regional Development, the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry (BKPM), and KADIN Indonesia featured a range of activities, including panel discussions, thematic sessions, high-level dialogues, exhibitions, science corners, and networking meetings.
